Hide AdPaula began working with West Sussex County Council in 1992 as a support worker. Since then, she has completed an NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care, before moving into a domestic role in 2009.
All employees were also congratulated on their hard work which has resulted in a ‘Good’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following a recent inspection.
The CQC report highlighted that residents received a comprehensive assessment and were involved in discussions about their care. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible.
Service manager, Carmen Flueras, commented: “I am so proud of my team and the recent report is testament to their dedication to the service and our residents here. It has been wonderful to celebrate with everyone today and thank the employees here for what they do.”
